Investment Analysis

We will analyze your current investment portfolio to determine its effectiveness in meeting your investment objectives, given your risk tolerance and time frames. If changes are necessary, we will make the appropriate recommendations and implement the changes as needed.

Effective Portfolio Construction

Asset allocation and diversification are utilized to manage investment risk, minimize the impact of taxes, and add significant value.  A portfolio that provides broad asset-class diversification, suitable market sector exposure, and return transparency can enable most investors to adopt the investment strategy with confidence and better endure the inevitable ups and downs of the market.

Cost-Effective Implementation

We apply a practice of reducing your portfolio costs by utilizing low-cost investments.  A reduction in portfolio costs through lower overall operating costs will result in greater potential returns.

Portfolio Rebalancing

We executes a portfolio management strategy to consistently align a portfolio with its target allocation. As investments produce different returns over time, the portfolio likely drifts from its target allocation, acquiring new risk and return characteristics that may be inconsistent with your original preferences.  The goal of a rebalancing strategy is to minimize risk, rather than maximize return.

Tax Loss Harvesting

When appropriate and applicable, we will capitalize on depressed investment positions to realize capital losses in non-qualified brokerage accounts while shifting into like portfolios or rebalancing. Tax loss harvesting provides a potentially greater after-tax return by capturing tax losses to offset gains, possibly generating an income tax deduction.

Generating sufficient income is a dynamic process that requires advanced planning strategies and comprehensive market knowledge.

We will provide expert guidance to determine your optimal withdrawal strategy from non-qualified assets, Traditional IRAs, and Roth IRAs in periods of spending and retirement. The distribution of assets for your spending has a large impact on the longevity of your portfolio, total tax burden, and wealth.

Behavioral Coaching and Guidance

Investing involves emotions. We help clients maintain a long-term perspective and a disciplined approach. Abandoning a well-planned investment strategy can be costly, however becoming emotionally detached and steadfast in your investment strategy conviction can offer significant financial impact.

Asset Location

This refers to the allocation of assets between different investment vehicles and strategies, as well as taxable and tax-advantaged accounts.
